The FX miniseries "Fargo" concludes Tuesday (10 p.m.), with an extraordinary episode that makes the series one of the best television events, start to finish, in recent memory. (Another installment of "Fargo" is planned for next year, but likely without the same leading actors, say producers. "American Horror Story," also on FX, hits the reset button each season, too.) Without giving anything away, here's what to expect: Malvo sets his sights on eliminating Lester, who is busy trying to manipulate the "situation" he caused in the previous episode. Meanwhile, Gus, worried about Molly's safety, follows through on a hunch. If you've got heart pills, take 'em.

Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex condition that affects 1 in 68 children. ASD is often difficult to identify because the term encompasses several disorders, including, Asperger syndrome, CDD (childhood disintegrative disorder), ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and ADD (attention deficit disorder), to name a few. The biggest mystery surrounding these disorders is what causes them. In the past, it was believed that the cause was purely hereditary, though this has recently been challenged. Today, it is more commonly believed that a combination of gene mutations and environmental factors cause an ASD, though this can vary from case to case.
One aspect of autism that is not up for debate is the fact that it is at its core, a neurological disorder that affects the brain in ways that have mystified doctors for decades.
Without knowing the exact cause of the disorder, families often find it difficult to choose the most appropriate treatment for their child. Each ASD case is different and when one treatment may work for a patient, it may yield no results for the next. Typical treatments for the symptoms of autism generally involve child development specialists and therapists who specialize in the care of autistic patients.
Additionally, cranial movement therapy has been proven to yield positive results in ASD patients. Like most neurological disorders, the symptoms of ASD have greatly reduced through the adjustment of the cranial movement that affects brain functionality.
Patients of Dr. Simkovich that suffer from an autism disorder have experienced amazing results. One patient came to Dr. Simkovich with very little speech and after treatment progressed to the point where language was no longer an issue. Another patient with ADHD improved so much that they were able to be taken off medication and no longer needed learning support classes. Lastly, an autistic patient's violent outbursts ceased after treatment from Dr. Simkovich. The patient's social skills drastically improved and he is now capable of living on his own.
Read more about the signs and symptoms of ASD, as well as treating and diagnosing these symptoms, in our featured white papers.

"The dream house and magical lakeside gardens of Sri Lanka's most famous architect, now a blissful hotel for those seeking peace and quiet"
Run by the non-profit-making Lunuganga Trust, you wouldn't really call it a hotel. Discerning travellers have the chance to stay in one of 3 antique-filled suites or a 2-bedroom cottage, the latter set on the edge of a cinnamon plantation in a secluded corner of the gardens. With a full staff and catering service, this is a privileged opportunity to explore the genius of Asia's best-known architect, famed for his monochrome motifs, exquisite compositions of light and shade and harmony of landscape and architecture.
- There are some 15 acres of tranquil gardens - from immaculate lawns of spreading frangipani to a dense jungle of palms and banyans - providing hours of idle wandering right on the doorstep
- Three lovely rooms to choose from, plus a separate cottage for 4 (with butler service)
- The elegant suites are packed with quirky collections of art and antiques, especially the Gallery Room (it's truly like spending the night in an art gallery)
- It's an inspiring place to read, sketch or finish your novel
- Boat trips and bird-watching tours can be arranged
- Lunuganga will be undergoing renovations from mid-August 2017, causing periodic closure of rooms. The entire property will close during October
- No children under the age of 12 are accepted
- No air-conditioning or swimming pool, but it's close to Bentota's beaches and guests can use a nearby pool
- There's a lack of comfortable outdoor seating. Sun beds, we're told, are not in keeping with the Bawa spirit, but we longed for something to lounge on
- Some of the exterior paint and woodwork is a bit grubby, but maintaining the estate is a huge undertaking and weathering is part of its natural order
Best time to go

Clustered at the top of the hill, with the gardens spread out below, are the old plantation houses. They now house double-bedded suites with private bathrooms. Left much as they were in Bawa's lifetime, they're furnished with antique Dutch furniture, sculpture and artworks from his collection. Each room has its own quirky style, but all are elegant, interesting and intensely personal. Consistent themes include white mosquito netting draped over big comfortable beds (some of them four-posters), low lighting and hints of Bawa's distinctive monochrome décor (expressed through black-and-white paintwork, printed textiles and tiled floors).
The Glass House, a bridge of glass spanning the entrance loggia, is a single room and full of sunlight, garden vistas and inspiration (the perfect artist's retreat).
Alongside this is the Gallery, which the architect converted from a stable to house his private collection; international art and artefacts, vintage and modern, fill its large double bedroom, which has a dressing room and bathroom (with roll-top tub) overlooking the water garden. Below, a sitting room (or lower gallery) opens onto a terrace. This room is usually sold last, so that guests in other rooms can admire its treasures.
A short distance from the main house, next to the ha-ha in a dip between two hills, is the pavilion or Small House, which Bawa built to accommodate his architectural assistants. This split-level annexe, much of it decorated in Bawa monochrome, has the feel of a cottage and is now the only room with twin beds.
Further away, on the edge of a cinnamon plantation after which it's named, is the Cinnamon Hill House, a 2-bedroom cottage. Its vistas roll across lawns, hardwood forests and the lake to rest on a distant Buddhist stupa. With two ensuite double rooms, inside and outside living areas and a private steward, it's a regal and restful retreat for two couples or a family (extra beds are available) seeking perfection and privacy.
Features include:
- Air conditioning
- Extra beds
- Fan
- Internet access
- Terrace
Staff serve breakfast (and other meals, on request) in one of the many beautiful corners of the grounds, away from the daytime visitors. There is a dining room of sorts in the living room; its few tables are constantly moved in and out of the French windows, depending on the moods of the weather, and are usually dressed with flowers and black-and-white linen. You can also choose to eat in your suite or in an outdoor space close by.
For dinner, with the house and grounds all to yourselves, Bawa's kitchen produces simple but delicious curries and other local dishes. We dined by candelight on spicy coconut and prawn curry and traditional Sri Lankan string hopper noodles.
A lovely idea for lunch is a picnic on a boat in the lake, returning for afternoon tea (freshly baked cake or scones with jam) in the main house. Lunches and dinners usually require a little notice, but you can state your preferences over breakfast or on arrival.
The hotel doesn't have a bar, but will serve chilled beers and drinks such as gin and tonic on request.
Features include:
- Breakfast
- Dinner by arrangement
- Lunch by arrangement
- Allow plenty of time for soaking up the gardens (a blissful patchwork of earth, foliage, water and light, with indigenous flowers, majestic banyans, canopied rubber trees and dense ferns) and browsing the artworks in the house. The grounds are open to the public between 9am and 5pm, though numbers are limited
- If you're particularly interested in gardens, those of Geoffrey Bawa's brother Bevis can be visited at Brief, a few miles away. Architectural tours can also be arranged for viewing Geoffrey Bawa's finest creations
- The bird watching in the area is hard to beat and nature trails can be arranged
- Head to one of the many long, sandy beaches around Bentota, where you can swim, dive, sail, surf, jet ski, ride horses or watch fishermen unload crayfish and squid
- Colombo and the Unesco World Heritage town of Galle are both about 60km (1-2 hours) away and are feasible as day trips by car or train
- Check out one of the nearby turtle hatcheries, where visitors are encouraged to help release baby turtles back into the sea
- Discover the art of mask making in Ambalangoda, which lies a short drive to the south
Activities on site or nearby include:
- Birdwatching
- Boat trips
- Historical sites
- Horse riding
- Plantlife / flora
- Sailing
- Scuba diving

Slow boat to China
"As a user of machine tools for more than fifty years, I purchased a Grizzly lathe for home shop use.
First time out, machining a small aluminum piece, the main drive gear broke, and quickly discovered it was made of cheap plastic. The warranty section agreed to replace it, but of course with the same plastic junk, while it is now backordered from China. Even I cannot afford the downtime, so once replaced the machine will go up for sale on Craigslist, along with all the other sad crap made in China. Yes, I even lived there for four years.
I will then purchase a "real" lathe with metal gears. Very poor company."
back order after backorder
"Ordered a jointer with a 3 month back order. When time for delivery approached I called to find out when it would be shipped. They told me there was a 2 month further delay. As the revised delivery approached I called them again and I was told of another 2 month delay. Ridiculous. I cancelled the order and ordered from a well known high end brand. Yeah, it cost more, but I received the jointer promptly. I've totally lost faith in Grizzly. Even if I had waited for their jointer, I'd be concerned that parts would be unavailable if I ever needed to make repairs. Grizzly didn't just loose one customer. It will be my mission to tell all of my woodworking friends, acquaintances, and students of my unpleasant experience. I don't like the way I was treated."
Hidden surcharge
"So apparently Grizzly adds a surcharge (which they don't disclose until after the sale when you receive your emailed receipt) for any product being shipped to California. They claim that it is mandated by all shipping companies. I find that hard to believe as I have never had a company tell me there is a surcharge for any of my items being shipped to CA and I receive items almost daily by USPS, UPS, FedEx, CA Overnight, YRC and some of the other Freight lines. Rather than offering to waive the fee they went ahead and cancelled the order. Great way to kick a customer to the curb Grizzly"
Cheap, waste of money products
"BOUGHT A LAWNMOWER WITH 3 YEAR WARRANTY. SEND IT BACK TO GRIZZLY WHO LIED CONTINUALLY SAYING FIRSTLY WE HAD NO OIL IN IT (had to drain oil out of it as requested by Grizzly before courier could pick up) THEN CHANGED THEIR LIES TO WE HADN'T SERVICED IT. WE HAD USED THIS LAWNMOWER A HANDFUL OF TIMES. GRIZZLY PRODUCTS ARE CHEAP RUBBISH AND BEST SPENDING A BIT EXTRA FOR SOMETHING DECENT. THEIR PRODUCTS DIDN'T EVEN DESERVE 1 STAR BUT NO OTHER OPTION AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS APPALLING TO. DON'T BUY GRIZZLY PRODUCTS "
Parts missing
"Ordered an x y table. One of the key ways for the handle was missing. I called em was told part was being over night shipped. A week goes by I get a box with the wrong part in it with 2 different signatures on it for being checked. Called a 3rd time was told a new one could be shipped out and wait another week. I went and bought part local then go to put in set screw after I get it together and that's stripped from the factory and painted after. Absolute junk will not buy anything from them again and now have to wait another 3to4 weeks for my $ back. Waste of time and $ and **** poor quality and customer service. Definitely lost a customer here."
Backorder extended...
"I bought a jointer, backordered.. It would arrive to them in one month. After that one month, there was no update to their tracking/status so I called in. I was told it would be ANOTHER 3 months. That's 4 times the initial waiting! I get that items are on backorder. An estimation is exactly that, but the second estimation was an insult! I run a woodworking business and to make space, sold my original jointer based on the estimation when I ordered as I can't leave woodworking tools on the driveway just to make sure when stuff arrives.. I now have no jointer and their 'customer service' repeats the same word for word blurb about how valued I am and doesn't answer any of my questions. Highly disappointed!"
What a crap company
"My Shop has 6 expensive grizzly metal working machines in it. Every single one of them has had some form of shipping issue and this company refuses to work with the customer to resolve the issue. In a nut shell they just blame the customer.
Im done with them."
"Beware of Grizzly!
It's not a surprise that the machinery sold under their brand isn't first class product, when you buy something for a lower price, there's a reason and it's not that the seller is especially generous.
Grizzly is a perfect example of the absolute opposite; not only isn't the company generous, they're motivated by greed.
I purchased a H8192 belt sander from Grizzly last October to use when my JET sander is otherwise occupied. Since the second day the Grizzly was in service it has been the shop problem child.
I'll not complain about the plastic wheels used on the Grizzly in place of the machined aluminum used by JET, as I stated earlier there's a reason for a lower price and this is a clear case of the difference being in quality. I can deal with the vibration transmitted to the sanding belt through these substandard wheels, cheap is cheap.
The real problem is in warranty and customer service with Grizzly.
On the second day the "machine" (I'm being kind calling it such) was in operation it wouldn't turn on. I'm an old ASE Certified Master Automotive Technician so diagnosing problems is second nature. I'm not about to send a machine back for a loose connection or broken wire that I can fix myself but in this case the cause was simple; a bad power switch. Upon removing it from the housing the melted contact was visible.
With a quality manufacturer a simple phone call to customer service would result in a replacement switch being shipped immediately under warranty. Not with Grizzly.
I was informed that my two day old machine would be tied up for several WEEKS until they had a replacement switch to supply. When I informed them that this was not an acceptable solution as I purchased the machine to use, not to store in a corner, the phone guy (customer service is a title one should earn) told me to send the machine back and they would send me another. This, again would entail WEEKS of downtime for something I paid for.
I did ask if they had a replacement machine on hand and was assured they did. When I suggested that they remove the switch from the machine they were willing to send me and replace the switch on THEIR machine I was informed "That's not going to happen...." Essentially I was told to wait and that Grizzly had no intention to reach a better solution.
It was only after I called corporate HQ and made a stink that someone decided to check other machines in their line to see if a replacement switch for one of them would solve the problem. Hours later it was found and a replacement was sent.
Not great Customer Service but it shouldn't be the job of the customer to find a way the service the problem.
The Problem child stumbled along fine, no real issues other than the expected poor quality I've come to expect from Grizzly until mid April when it again wouldn't run.
Not a switch this time as the motor buzzed when switched on. First place to check is the Start Capacitor and the BEST way to test a capacitor is to swap in a known good one. After calling Grizzly, for a replacement that would take several days to arrive I locally obtained one of the same rating. While the external dimensions were larger the local replacement would allow the machine to be used while I waited. Problem is, the capacitor isn't malfunctioning it's a bad motor. Great quality from Grizzly seven months on a motor.
When I called Grizzly again the nightmare began. They weren't happy because I was mean to their people when they were chasing me in circles about the switch, my options were "send the machine back and we'll replace of refund it."
Realize, Grizzly lists a replacement motor and actually had on in stock, but they wanted to punish me by making it as inconvenient as possible. Another call to corporate and an agreement was reached to send a replacement motor as returning the machine was simply a stupid solution.
The replacement motor showed up and was installed immediately. The replacement motor lasted TWO WEEKS. I do understand that cheap machines come with cheap components and that includes cheap motors so I again called Grizzly and asked them to send another and offered to return the "new bad" one for them to check. I was told essentially the motors are cheap enough to not warrant checking the bad one BUT the only thing Grizzly was going to do was to have me return the machine and they would send me a refund.
That's ridiculous and the worst example of customer care I have ever experienced. I own that machine, I paid for it along with the warranty that is supposed to be taking care of this issue. I asked that Grizzly send me a refund check along with a pickup slip for their machine. If they want out of their warranty obligation they can buy the machine back, but judging by the constant runaround I get whenever I needed service I'm not sure I'm comfortable trusting them to actually pay me.
They will not accept the return or replace the defective motor"
"90% restocking fee! In effect that what I was charged to return a small order with their undisclosed exorbitant return shipping/handling fee. I could have returned it for half of what they charged but they force everybody to print out and use their prepaid label. I knew I wouldn't get much back by returning it but $1.27 is an insult. My almost 1" thick Grizzly catalog is now in the trash where it belongs. "
"I ordered a lathe from grizzly. shipping container undamaged. Lathe was damaged though. No hold down bolts fastened. Paint chipped. electrical control box broken open and damaged. Grizzly wanted to send a new box and paint. they said it would be a new lathe then. I refused. how was I supposed to know what else could be wrong. It was apparently one that had been returned to them and not repacked well. I had taken pictures of the crate as it was opened after delivery and sent the pictures to them. After several weeks of phone calls and emails, they had the lathe picked up and returned to them. After hearing nothing for 2 more weeks, I called to find out when my new lathe would be shipped. I was told that a refund had been posted to my account and someone would call. never happened. I asked if they were also going to accept return of the other $300+ of lathe equipment I had bought. No response. It is 5 weeks since then and still no word. "

The first members' meeting for 2013 featured a panel of three editors with great experience in academic editing.
Dr Diane Brown was the participating chair. Diane is a full-time freelance editor and consultant. Her freelance clients include academic and educational book publishers and Australian universities. As a consultant, she offers professional development workshops for academic staff and higher degree students.
Margaret Bowden has been involved in academic editing for the past 20 years, with clients from universities all over Australia, and others from New Zealand, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the United Kingdom. Her other work as a research assistant at Flinders University involves research, writing and editing with individual academics across several disciplines.
Valerie Williams, who has extensive experience in the non-government, not-for-profit sector, has since 2006 provided editing and proofreading services to international postgraduate students in engineering, public health, management, the built environment, information technology, banking and finance, geochemistry, social sciences and environmental studies.
These three editors attempted to satisfy our curiosity about working with clients whose first language is not English, keeping within the guidelines of thesis editing, establishing a client base, running the business profitably, and above everything, why they find thesis editing so challenging and rewarding!
There was robust discussion at the end of the meeting.
The society works actively to support and promote editors and the editing profession, both in South Australia and nationally. As a member of the society, you will have access to a variety of benefits.
Join us for the Editors SA Christmas party at the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel on Monday 4 December. Bookings essential.

We are working hard on getting the game ready for Steam Greenlight. Take a look at some Morix Ships doing a fly by!
Author Archives: Trent
Greenlight this Summer!
The whole team is hard at work. We have designers deep in thought on fine details, artists with eyes glassed over with vision, and programmers typing until their fingers just can't do anymore! We at Malicious Games are excited to set the goal of kicking off our Steam Greenlight campaign in the summer of 2015. We will be releasing a lot of info about the game as well as gameplay media over the next few months as we prepare for Greenlight. This is huge for us as Xenia's Ark is our first game to bring to Steam, or any platform for that matter. Be sure to check back regularly for updates on the progress that we are making towards this goal.
Until next time,
Xenia's Ark
Our goal with Xenia's Ark is quite simply to create a game that combines all the elements of planetary domination and interstellar conquest 4X games into one. The player will start by building an empire from a single unit; however, Xenia's Ark will not limit this empire to a single planet in a single solar system. Players will then have to launch themselves into space and begin an age of interstellar conquest. Planets will not just be a box of statistics, but rather, living, breathing worlds the player must explore through ground and air units and conquer the hard way. Space will not only be a collection of solar systems, but will be filled with anomalies, resources, conflicts and more. Units will be land, air, sea, and space. The eXploration, eXpansion, eXploitation, and eXtermination will cross from planetary to interstellar and back to planetary again as the player attempts to outplay his opponents. The goal of Xenia's Ark is to unite the two sub genres of 4X into one to create a game of grand strategy in the largest sense of the word. I look forward to having you with us on this journey!

Cafe Sunset
Wandering around the city I was chasing beautiful light as it slid across and amongst the glass towers. There is one spot that I have returned to many times where the light refracts and compounds and changes colour in a kaleidoscope of directions and angles. Despite all of this colour and action I haven't yet nailed a shot there…literally next door is a sunken food court / cafe..they were packing up for the day as the light penetrated for the only time in the day. This is the only shot in the collection that doesn't have people and I have struggled about whether to include it….

London Film School has strong showing of current and former graduates at the LFF | The BFI Film Festival runs from 4th to 15th October
London Film School continues a strong year on the festival circuit with seven films by students and alumni featuring in the BFI 2017 London Film Festival- opening next week.
LAWS OF THE GAME, the final year film directed by LFS graduate Aegina Brahim, has been shortlisted for the festival's Short Film Award, the 14th festival official selection the film has received. Based on the true story of the Surinamese referee Deborah Zebeda, the film has won 5 Awards and was nominated for best producer at the Underwire festival. In addition to Brahim, director of photography JP Garcia, writer by Radu Ghelbereu, editor by Ricardo Saraiva and assistant director Faidra Tsolina are all recent LFS graduates.
Two films by LFS alumni feature in the festival's comedic shorts programme GITS AND SHIGGLES. Benjamin Cleary (2011*), who won an Oscar for his 2015 short STUTTERER, and fellow graduate Tj O'Grady (2010*) will be showing their film WAVE about a man who awakes from a coma speaking a fully formed but baffling language. Benjamin Bee's (2015*) MORDECHAI is a touching tale of a reunion between two brothers estranged by religion and life choices.
Carla Simón (2014*) has been shortlisted for the Sutherland Award for best First Feature for SUMMER 1993. This outstanding debut from the Catalan filmmaker depicts the journey of a young girl in the aftermath of her mother's death in early 1990s Spain. Praised for its visual poetry and compared to classics such as THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE, the film won an award earlier this year at the Berlin Film Festival.
Screening as part of the festival's Special Presentations strand is UNA MUJER FANTÁSTICA (A FANTASTIC WOMAN), co-written by current Screenwriting MA student Gonzalo Maza. The film scooped two awards at the Berlinale, including the prestigious Silver Bear screenplay prize shared by Maza and director Sebastián Lelio.
LFS alumnus Ann Hui, regarded as one of most important filmmakers of the Hong Kong New Wave, brings to London her new film OUR TIME WILL COME. A lushly wrought spy drama, the film is set among a resistance movement during Japan's occupation of Hong Kong. Distinguished LFS associates Abbas Kiarostami (who sadly died last year) and Richard Linklater also have headlining films in the festival programme, 24 FRAMES and LAST FLAG FLYING respectively.
Interim Director of London Film School, Gisli Snaer, says: 'We're absolutely thrilled and immensely proud to hear about the recognition alumni received once more at the BFI London Film Festival. Congratulations to all the graduates involved in this year's LFF. The fact that so many of our students have gone on to work in the industry is both a credit to their incredible talent and the schools' teaching excellence.'
The stellar line-up for London builds on the success of LFS at other international festivals this year. Hamid Ahmadi - whose final year film IN THE HILLS won the second prize at the 2016 Cinéfondation at Cannes- has been longlisted for the Short Film Academy Award. At the 67th Berlinale current screenwriting student Gonzalo Maza scooped two awards, including the prestigious Silver Bear for his work as co-writer of UNA MUJER FANTÁSTICA (A FANTASTIC WOMAN). Alumnus Carla Simón and LFS tutor Rafael Kapelinski were also recognized for their feature films SUMMER 1993 (ESTIU 1993) and BUTTERFLY KISSES respectively; Crystal Bear for Best film for BUTTERFLY KISSES and GWFF Best First Feature for SUMMER 1993
At the Venice International Film Festival LFS alumnus director Amanda Nell Eu's (2012*) short film LAGI SENANG JAGA SEKANDANG LEMBU (IT'S EASIER TO RAISE CATTLE) has been shortlisted in the Orizzonti Corti section. Zhannat Alshanova (2017*)'s student film THE WHITE ORCHID HOTEL has been selected for final competition and screening at the 16th International Student Film and Video Festival of Beijing Film Academy (October 2017).
About London Film School

The school is one of three Creative Skillset Film Academies and produces over 180 films a year via its Masters programme.

No single solution for eastern Australia's gas crisis
You can pay by card or invoice
Report summary
A 100 mmcfd shortfall between gas supply and demand in the Australian east coast market will emerge through 2017. Fingers have been pointed at the CSG-LNG projects, which have led to total demand rising threefold to 5 bcfd. But reduced development and exploration spend due to capital constraints and opposition from governments and communities have also contributed. Increased production from already onstream developments, including the CSG-LNG projects, should fill most of the deficit out to 2021. But the shortfall will only get worse and by 2025 it could rise to around 500 mmcfd. What are the next steps to resolve the impending shortfall?

Hey Business Owners, let me ask you a few questions…
- Are you struggling with business stress and frustration about your clients or your time?
- Is building your business leaving you feeling confused, exhausted or wondering where to turn next?
- Have you stopped having fun with your business and the people you serve?
What if, instead of feeling frustrated, stressed out and confused you developed the tools you need to master understanding human beings, so you could spend less time scratching your head on why something didn't work and more time surrounding yourself with clients and team members you love.

So to address the subject line, I am Dr. Elder Baker. My companions have both been sick and other missionaries in my district have been sick. When I was with other companions they would get sick too. I have only been sick once. But I have kind of been a doctor recently and now my mission president's wife probably thinks of me as a field assistant. On Saturday, Elder Chinas was very sick. We had to stay home all day. I called Sister Passey, MPW, to get advice and update her on the situation. She thanked me for holding down the fort in my area and being a good doctor. I just like to use experience, Boy Scout Training, Knowledge from Anatomy class, and logic. That is my basis of my medical practice. I basically give out Ibuprofen and Tums. Occasionally, like with Elder Teio, I wrap wounds. If you are lost on that comment look at the email about the home operation we did a while ago.

Sorry this is late, ran out of time...
So this week on Thursday I was asked to give a talk in my new branch! I was super excited and prepared a great talk! But then on Saturday they canceled on me because they wanted to give the opportunity for members to give their testimonies. Many families went to the Temple and were seled for time and all eternity. I was more than willing to give them that opportunity to share their wonderful spiritual experiences!

The Daily Drive
So in this area I am the only "Green Dot" missionary. So that means I do all the driving. I love driving! But sometimes I need to take a little break.
So last night we were coming out of our dinner and we needed to give something from the trunk to the Sisters in our branch. I then put my bag in the trunk and closed it. I then screamed and yelled. My companions asked why. I had left the keys in the pocket of my bag. Which was now in the trunk. Of the locked car. Crap. So we tried calling a bunch of people and President was so kind and loving to drive to the Mission Office to get the spare key and come and unlock the car for us! We did, in the meantime, get to enjoy the beautiful sunset!

Trash the Dress?
7 comments:
Xiomara, when I got married at age 30, I wore the dress my mother had worn when she married my father 35 years earlier. Her sister had purchased it from a fine bridal shop as a wedding gift. I had a seamstress go over it thoroughly since a lot of the threads had broken down, but the alterations to it were slight. As I was growing up, she would less us see and try on the dress now and then, and when my wedding was approaching I realized I liked it better than anything I saw in ads or shops. I did get my own veil, and she said she liked it better than what she had worn. After becoming bound to my husband in Holy Matrimony, it's my favorite thing about our wedding!ReplyDelete
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Wendy for sharing your story with me. It is great to find that in fact I am not the only one out there that is "traditional". ~XiomaraReplyDelete

As well as reading for my Introduction to Theology class at Kingsley, I also try to make time to read books dealing with issues that interest me, as the need arises. In I'm Not Crazy, I'm Just a Little Unwell, Australian journalist Leigh Hatcher writes of his experiences as a sufferer of chronic fatigue syndrome. I have several friends and acquaintances who have either suffered or are currently suffering from this much misunderstood and debilating illness.
As a pastoral care issue, my reason for reading this book was to gain a better understanding of this issue. I've never suffered from chronic fatigue myself, but genuinely sympathise with those who do. In 2001, basically through over exertion, stress, and inadequate sleep, I went through a period of constantly being tired and run down, with a host of unpleasant symptoms that I won't write about here. After some blood tests, which only revealed a low platelet count, my doctor advised me to make some lifestyle adjustments, and eventually this seemed to rectify the situation. However, as you'll see from Hatcher's book, chronic fatigue is a complex illness to manage.
In vividly describing his experiences, Hatcher takes the reader inside the mind of the chronic fatigue sufferer, to the extent that you see the world through his eyes. We also see the hurt and betrayal he felt from friends and colleagues who questioned that he was genuinely ill. Sadly, some of those who hurt and betrayed him were Christians, who you would somewhat naively hope would be more compassionate, supportive, and understanding than that. Nevertheless, Hatcher's faith was instrumental in his recovery, and gave him the strength to persevere and recover.
If you suffer from chronic fatigue, or indeed any other long-term illness, or know someone who does, this tome comes highly recommended to you. You'll draw some encouragement and inspiration from it. It's available from Koorong and other good Christian bookstores. For more information, visit Leigh's website, http://notcrazy.net/

Our third and final collaborative session with IAAC (Information Assurance Advisory Council) on the Future of Trust to answer the question "What is the Future of Trust in a complex, socio-technical future?"
Workshop 1 examined the future nature of trust. A key conclusion being that trust has moved from being fixed to being under constant renegotiation through interactions.
Workshop 2 used possible futures to explore trust in 2040. A finding here was that group based trust, particularly for local and community groups, would become more important.
Our final workshop will consider the findings from our first two workshops in the context of contemporary security legislation. Namely 'Security by Design' as explored by IAAC.

Will You Conquer or Quit?
// Kenneth W. Hagin
John 10:10 in the Amplified Bible reads, "I [Jesus] came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)."
That life in abundance—to the full, till it overflows—speaks of God's highest and best, doesn't it? This is what God intends for every one of His children. Yet so many aren't enjoying this kind of overflowing life.
What keeps people from enjoying God's best? Why do some never reach the level of life that God has promised in His Word? I believe one reason is how they think about life's obstacles—the situations and circumstances that confront them. In other words, they believe God's Word until a circumstance arises that contradicts it.
Our beliefs—what we believe in our heart—should determine our attitude or mentality. One of the greatest privileges we have as believers is that we can take the Word of God and develop the mentality that God wants us to have. He wants us to think in a way that positions us to receive and walk in His abundance and overflow!
I want to show you some truths in this area based on the example of the Old Testament people of Israel. Let's look at how God's people responded to His promise of abundance and to the opportunity He provided for them to live in the overflow.
After the children of Israel left Egypt, a land of slavery, God intended to bring them into their Promised Land, a land of plenty—a land of overflow! Moses sent 12 spies into that land to look it over and report back. Let's read the report of 10 of those men.
27 "We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
28 Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan. . . .
31 We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we."
32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature.
33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."
These 10 spies agreed that the land overflowed with good things, just as God had said. But after they talked about that, they said, "Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there" (v. 28 NKJV). These men then explained why they couldn't enter the land. They said, "We were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight" (v. 33 NKJV).
Have you ever heard the phrase "a grasshopper mentality"? This is the attitude 10 of the 12 spies had toward God's promises. People with a grasshopper mentality think, "I'm so much smaller than the opposition. I'm not able to overcome. I am a nobody, a loser." And because they think that way, they eventually believe it, and all their words and actions reflect that way of thinking.
As believers we can choose not to have a grasshopper mentality. Instead, we can focus on the Word of God and on what God said we can do. As we do that, we will enjoy the manifestation of God's promises through Christ Jesus.
A Conqueror's Mentality
Of the 12 spies Moses sent into the Promised Land, two came back with the right mindset. Caleb and Joshua didn't have a grasshopper mentality; they had a conqueror's mentality. They had the attitude that if God said it, they were well able to do it. They believed that if God gave it, they were well able to possess it!
Joshua and Caleb said to the children of Israel, " 'Don't be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the Lord is with us! Don't be afraid of them!' " (Num. 14:9 NLT). Joshua and Caleb's mentality was based on God and His promise, not on what they could do. God had promised them the land, and they trusted Him. And because of their faith in Him, Joshua and Caleb possessed what He had promised.
In the same way, our attitude today must be based on God and what He has said, not on what we can see. Second Corinthians 4:18 says, "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal" (NIV 1984). The Apostle Paul was saying here that the things that we can see now are subject to change. But the unseen things, or the things God has promised us that we must accept by faith, are not subject to change!
The Promised Land for us today consists of those things God has provided for us in redemption through Jesus Christ. In God's great plan of redemption, He has made available to us salvation, healing, and prosperity. But we have to possess by faith what He has provided. To live in our Promised Land of abundance and overflow, we must do what Joshua and Caleb did. We must trust and obey God.
We can hold on to a grasshopper mentality and quit, or we can develop a conqueror's mentality. We can refuse to let circumstances keep us from possessing everything that belongs to us in Christ. The choice is ours.
Develop a Conqueror's Mentality
Joshua and Caleb had a conqueror's mentality. They did things we can also do to possess what God has provided for us through Christ Jesus.
- They were not intimidated by their enemies.
- They were not moved by their circumstances.
- They focused on the greatness of God.
- They focused on what they would enjoy once they entered the Promised Land.

A woman who accused embattled San Diego Democratic Mayor Bob Filner of "groping her backside" and making "unwanted sexual advances" reluctantly donated $200 in January of this year to help pay off Filner's considerable campaign debt incurred during his successful mayoral run.
According to Voice of San Diego, Sharon Bernie-Cloward, one of seven women who have publicly accused Filner of sexual harassment, made the donation as the head of the San Diego Port Tenants Association. Campaign finance filings released Tuesday revealed Filner had more than $100,000 of campaign debt that was ultimately retired.
Bernie-Cloward accused Filner of sexually harassing her in 2010 and "groping her backside" after a campaign event in 2012 that left her fearful.
"I was left there startled and fearful. In fact, I actually had someone walk me to my car that night," Bernie-Cloward told KPBS last week.
Bernie-Cloward told Voice of San Diego that she felt compelled to send the donation because it was a part of her job representing business owners along the port tidelands.
"It was a typical campaign check," Bernie-Cloward told Voice of San Diego. "My job is my job, and you've got to work with these people."
She "reiterated that she reported the 2012 incident to the Port Tenants Association board when it happened" and "was reluctant to make her accusations public earlier than she did because the port tenants' PAC backed Filner's opponent, Carl DeMaio."
"I guarantee you," Bernie-Cloward said. "If I came forward at that time, they would have said that I was just coming to get him."


text: Hey guys, normally, I usually don't have problems with the latest gadgets and all. But this thing's got me all confused. First, after my big bro & his GF destroyed my EDGE and DS. I got the DS repaired and also bought an R4i Gold for a total of about $25 (1250 PHP). So, yeah. I've seen a lot of kernel, firmware or whatever you call them things for R4i Gold. But none of them work. It'll only show a white screen with an SD card with "Menu?" on it. So I finally tried the link that was on the box, and downloaded the latest firmware there, which worked. Which was this: Removed it, turns out, that link also had ROMs. Sorry. I have R4i Gold v1.4 Now for my questions: 1. Is the best & latest firmware for my v1.4 just located there? Or is there an more recent one? Because, I can't play Eternal Odyssey III and My Sims Racing, and it sucks if I wanna play Pokemon BW in the future. I miss my EDGE, grr. 2. I downloaded PPSEDS, and back with my EDGE, I only clicked it and it'll load. Now, I'd have to use the included HomebrewMenu.nds to make PPSEDS work. Is there a fix for this? 3. I believe this R4i Gold of mine is a clone of DSTT? Or not. 4. What's the best flashcart? I might consider buying a new one, next weekend. Also, I'm thinking of a flashcart that can support EDGE/R4i Gold saves so that I won't bother to convert them. Thanks in advance ! Hopefully, someone would relieve my headache.

We have also included details of the business and financial interests of each Governor and information about any Governance role they play in other schools, as well as a full breakdown of the structure and responsibilities of the governing body of our school and its committees.
The governors' aim is to enable John Blandy school to provide the best possible education for the children in a happy, stimulating environment. We want the experiences provided at John Blandy to enable every child to achieve their full potential, academically and socially. We work closely with Mrs Silvester, the headteacher and her staff. As we are part of an Academy, the John Blandy Primary School Local Governing Body is accountable to the Faringdon Academy of Schools Board for ensuring that these statutory responsibilities are met.
As school governors we are responsible for monitoring and evaluating the performance and effectiveness of the staff and ensuring that the children make appropriate progress in all areas of their education. We ensure that the budget is managed prudently and act as critical friends to the staff, monitor the school development plan and are involved in OFSTED's school inspections. We want the children to have a broad range of experiences and to enjoy their time at our school.
The Governing Body is charged with many specific responsibilities and powers but has general responsibility for oversight of every aspect of the school and its activities. Formally, the Department for Education requires governors to:

Rapper Kanye West has lashed out at critics who launched a petition against him after he was announced as a headliner at the Glastonbury festival, calling the protest an "insult to music fans all over the world".
Organizers of the event faced a backlash from Glastonbury fans when they revealed the Stronger hitmaker would be one of three headliner earlier this year (15) - and one group launched an online petition urging festival bosses to cancel his performance.
The initiative attracted more than 130,000 signatures, while festival organiser Emily Eavis became a target of criticism and revealed she even was bombarded with threats of violence.
And, in a new interview with Q Magazine, the rapper called the online protest "an insult to music fans all over the world".
When Kanye hits the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury on Saturday night (27Jun15), he'll have support from an unlikely source - Dave Grohl.
The Foo Fighters star and his band were forced to pull the plug on their Friday night set at the festival when the rocker broke his leg during a recent show in Sweden, and now Grohl believes West's set will be the highlight of the weekend, stating, "(It will be) one of the great moments in the history of rock 'n' roll."

Targeted Therapy in Treatment of Cancer
Personalized treatment is expected to be the wave of the future in oncology, and one part of that trend is the development of targeted therapy drugs. This exciting area in cancer research involves finding drugs that interrupt the ability of the cancer to grow in the body – drugs that don't simultaneously harming healthy tissue the way conventional chemotherapy agents can
Conventional chemotherapy drugs are "cytotoxic". Cyto- means cell. These chemicals kill cells – both cancerous and healthy. They work by inhibiting cellular division. Because cancer cells tend to multiply faster than healthy cells, the chemotherapy agents kill malignant cells at a greater rate than they kill healthy cells. This differential in killing rates is what makes chemotherapy effective against cancer. However, there are major costs with this type of approach to attacking cancer. First, plenty of healthy cells are affected the killed. Tissues that have rapid cell division tend to do worst. This is why you see the side effects of chemotherapy showing up in areas of the body where rapid cell division happens. The insides of the digestive system are such as place – which is why chemotherapy patients often feel nauseous. The interior of the nasal passages and the follicles on the scalp are affected – which is why common side effects include loss of taste and going bald. And the cells in the bone marrow that make red blood cells are affected – which is why anemia is so common.
The side effects are not just discomforts for the patient. They present real challenges for doctors attempting to manage the cancer. The limiting dose – the highest amount of the chemotherapy drug that can be administered – is often set by the toxicity of the drug to the body. Indeed, when designing combination regimens of more than one chemotherapy drug, a major factor in the choice is to pick drugs with different organ-limiting toxicities.
Further, cytotoxic drugs are a blunt tool for attacking cancer. They go after all cells, not just the malignant ones.
Scientists long dreamed of a "magic bullet" that would attack cancer and leave the rest of the body unscathed. In the 1990s the research community got excited by research into angiogenesis inhibitors. These chemicals – some of which occurred naturally in tbe body and some of which were new synthetic compounds – slowed the growth of blood vessels. The idea was that by stopping the growth of capillaries (small blood vessels), these new drugs would stop the growth of tumors. Without a supply of blood, the tumor could not grow to be big enough to cause problems.
While the initial excitement around angiogenesis inhibitors faded to some extent, there are some drugs in this category on the market, and others in development. Indeed, Avastin (generic name bevacizumab) is the biggest selling (total revenue) cancer drug in the country. This is partly because of its high cost. Avastin is FDA-approved for several types of cancer, including lung cancer when used in combination with in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel. Other drugs on the market include Erbitux (cetuximab) and Sutent (sunitinib). Recent developments in genetic sequencing have led to new treatments for melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. A new drug (vemurafenib) targets the gene that signals the growth of new blood cells in melanoma tumors; choking off the blood supply they need to grow.
Another major area of investigation is the class of drugs called tyrosine kinase inhibitors or just kinase inhibitors. These interrupt the ability of the tumors to stay together. Growing cancers have disfunctioning tyrosine kinase activity. The malignant cells cannot clump together as a tumor, and the ability of the cancer to harm the body declines. Over 30 kinase inhibitors have been approved for treatment of cancer, and others are in development. HDAC Inhibitors are considered targeted therapy.
The oncogene in most cases of chronic myelogeneous leukemia is BRD-AML. Imitatinib blocks the BRD-AML and blocks the signals for cell proliferation, controlling tumor growth. Imitinib could be used in other cancers with BRD-AML oncogenes.
Drugs that induce apoptosis (cause the cells to kill themselves) are also being developed as a form of targeted therapy, and some researchers are looking for ways to use monoclonal antibodies as delivery mechanisms for toxic payloads. The specitivity of the antibody allows the toxin to be placed exactly where it should be to kill the malignant cells, without harming healthy cells.
Targeted therapy drugs have the downside that the cancer frequently develops resistance. The mutation may develop a second mutation that somehow bypasses the target protein. A mutation in a downstream protein may be the culprit, too. Oncologists often combine targeted therapies with conventional chemotherapy drugs for this reason.
Companion Diagnostics
For some medicines (and targeted therapies for cancer are among them), the FDA requires companion diagnostics be used in conjunction with the therapy. The diagnostic is included on the label. This is in direct contrast to most medical practice where drugs and diagnostics are separately ordered by doctors. The companion diagnostic for a targeted therapy is part of the package with the actual medicine.
The nature of the companion diagnostic can take many forms: nucleic acid–based testing (there are a bunch), as well as less esoteric measures of blood serum and urine (e.g. biomarker proteins and metabolites that show evidence of pharmaceutical action).
See FDA website on targeted therapies and companion diagnostics.
Why don't we have more targeted therapies?
Challenges to developing new targeted therapies include identification of targets, and indeed the right targets. Scientists look for differences between malignant cells and normal ones. The differences are usually DNA mutations and protein levels but not all provide useful targets. Most mutations in a cancer cell are not causing the cancer. Only a few driver mutations cause the cancer, and it is hard to identify which ones are drivers.
It is not always straightforward to come up with a drug that affects the target. Sometimes drugs are found effective against targets in laboratory glassware. When the drugs are tried in animals or humans, it turns out the target turns out to be less important than originally thought. This is a common reason so many targeted therapy medicines wash out in clinical trials.
